JOHN w. POTTER.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1887

THE house of representatives has sus-
tanned the veto of President Cleveland on
the dependent pension bill. The bill
originally passed the house by a majority
OF 103, but on its passage over the veto
it had only so majority. The constitu>
tioRal two-thirds was lacking, and the
bill therefore goes back to its originator
a harmless and ineffective document.
Many congressman who previously voted
for the bill. admitted that they had not
given it sufficient thought, and now
thoroughly conceded with the president
While considerable credit is due to the
congressman who realized the necessity
of opposing this bill, the major praise
falls on President Cleveland, whose dis
approval of this odious measure was an
act of ourage and consoien,iousness de-
serving of special commentator.
